Would the BIR instead confirm the authenticity of the BIR certification presented by the lawyer of Mr Ferdinand Marcos on December 22, 2021? It was issued by RDO No. 42 in San Juan, dated December 9, 2021, and signed by Arsenio Tomeldan, Adelfa Mateo and Thelma Mangio. Copy of the 2-page certification is in this link: https://twitter.com/lianbuan/status/1473555826631938053


Dear Ms. Buan:

This refers to your request dated January 10, 2022 for authentication/confirmation on the Certification issued by Revenue District Office No. 42 - San Juan in relation to the tax case of former Senator Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.

In this regard, we regret to inform you that upon inquiry from the Legal Service of this Bureau, we cannot process the said request since it is one for a Sensitive Personal Information as defined under R.A. No. 10173 considering it pertains to the information stated in the tax returns of former Senator Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.

Moreover, Section 270 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended, identifies the " unlawful divulgence" rule wherein personnel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) cannot divulge information obtained from the taxpayer's business, income or estate as well as the secrets, operations, style or work or apparatus of any manufacturer or producer, or confidential information regarding the business of the taxpayer.
